“This is the last chance Preston audiences will have to see this play for some time – we’re so busy touring the country we hardly get an opportunity to perform at home”
“If you have four female friends – statistically one of them will experience domestic abuse,” says actor Claire Moore.
“Our play helps the audience answer the ‘Why doesn’t she just leave?’ question and gives them a chance to find out what really goes on behind closed doors.

Researched by talking to survivors, Lady In Red will be performed at The Continental, South Meadow Lane, Preston, on Thursday, March 6 at 8pm.
The play will be followed by an after-show discussion with the writers and actors. Tickets are £8.
